Okay, so after the several years I've had a saltwater tank, I've never had to worry about this.... BUT, now I need to know what type of water I should buy to add fresh to my tank... Distilled? What??? What I've done to this point, is purchased water from my lfs... But in the last few months...

We've suffered the same experience several times.. Purchased an emerald crab - which lived awhile and would then be found dead.... We couldn't figure it out... The emerald would appear to be thriving - and we never witnessed anything else in the tank bothering it.... and yet the emerald's...

My Christmas Wrasse only comes out twice a day... Seems to know when it's chow time! LOL! He will stay out in view for 1-2 hours and then vanishes once again into the sand.... But boy is he a beauty when he's out and about - and VERY active!

Well, although probably an unpopular opinion - I do believe there should be SOME restrictions on importing.... Take for example Florida's invasion of "exotic pets" who grow too large for the purchaser - who then sets them free in the Everglades - creating a menace to the natural wildlife...

I've been trying to google to see the outcome of the hearing... but am somewhat overwhelmed because of all the sites that merely address the issue - pro and con - PRIOR to the hearing.... No longer wanting to be frustrated, I just thought I'd ask on this site..... What was the outcome result of...

Is there any chance you could post a picture of your colorful tank? I love colors myself - but am limited with only a 55 gallon.... (I do have red in my tank... but only in the form of a Knobby Star..)

Yes, like others I do watch my fish.... Find it quite peaceful... Brings a little bit of serenity into a rather hectic life (especially after work).....

Could it be that you're adding too many fish - either all at one time or within too short of time? (I've had a saltwater 55 gallon for 2+ years now and had to learn the hard way about fish additions...) Then again, it could be ick.... I know that for most people ick is successfully treated -...

Here's a thread about abbreviations that you might find helpful... https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/349265/abbreviation-list (Another really great option to these boards is the search... )

Welcome! Hope you find the knowledge found in these boards as helpful as I have (and even more hopeful that you gain the knowledge before any sort of disaster happens!)

Can only tell you that in the saltwater hobby, 55 - 75 gallon aquarium are considered small...

Apparently there is no sure fire way to determine the --- of PJ Cardinals... Online googling only produced the fact that it is very hard to distinguish... Some say the male has a longer secondary dorsal fin and/or larger mouth.. Some give the description of the female as having a "somewhat"...

Just like Eric B 125, I can't say "forgotten"... guess I would have to go with "assumed dead".... A Royal Gramma almost immediately disappeared when first placed in the tank. Having read that this was common during the settling in process, initially I wasn't worried. But after several days...

Sorry, can't give you any answers... but sure would like to see some pics of this event if possible!

My Royal Gramma hid for a short duration of time... but now those beautiful colors are seen most of the time and he swims with the big boys! (Again, sorry for the bad pics - I love pictures, just not good at taking them! Guess that should stop me from taking them - but it doesn't!)

My wrasse of choice is a Christmas Wrasse which I've had for quite awhile now... He tends to bury himself for most of the time (at least when I'm awake and/or home.. LOL!), but does appear to have some kind of schedule because he tends to be out and about every day for a couple of hours in the...

My choice of angel would be your original - Coral Beauty - simply for more of a variety of color.... Orange will already be present by the clowns.... And since you're just getting into the hobby, I would stay away from anthias for the time being anyway.... BEAUTIFUL fish, but from what I've...

What is the size of the Maroon Clown versus the newly purchased Pearlscale? Might just be a matter of stress... From what I've read, Maroons are one of the largest and most aggressive anemonefish and shouldn't be kept with smaller, peaceful fish. With Pearlscale Butterflys it is suggested...

Here's a pic of my Chocolate Chip.....

Frankly, I've seen Choc Chips sporting quite a variety of colors at my lfs.... I personally waited until I saw the color I was after - the yellowish tan.... I've seen whitish, greyish, brown, tan and some like yours with a little red.....
